Sense 2 Battery life

[petercarp]

I found that the battery life on my Sense 2 was getting dramatically slower. After adjusting all the available settings without getting any improvement I changed the clock face. It turns out he "old" clock face had evidently not been updated to work properly with newer Sense 2 updates.

With the old clock face I as was having to recharge once a day but with a new and different clock  face, that is evidently optimized with the current Sense 2 software, I am now back to getting about 6 days between charges.

Hi @petercarp - thanks for the observation however it may not just be a clock face issue but one of settings and syncing also.

For instance if you pull down on the watch face to get to Quick Settings and turn off all the icons did it work correctly for battery usage.

Also if the clock face requires internet permission it may be doing a lot of syncing to get access and requires more optimisation.

Best to contact the developer though at this time 3rd party developers can't do anything to improve it.

Guy - as I mentioned I adjusted all of the available setting with the old clock face without avail.

When I changed the clock face, and nothing else, the battery life returned to about 6 days.

No doubt the old clock face was the culprit.
